TARS ARE JOLLY LOT IN ENGLISH HOSPITAL Edith Lanyon Finds Woupded Sailors Are Jealous of Army Patients Con valescents Smuggle Puppies and Kittens Into Wards. BY EDITH E. LANYON. A HOSPITAL. IN ENGLAND, Sept. 11. (Special.) At last I am released from my long vigil. I came off night duty two days ago and am blinking like a bat in the unaccus tomed sunlight of day. I think I could have slept from the time I came off until now if I had not been ruthlessly called up to go on day duty at 4 o'clock the first afternoon. As I had spent my morning removing from the night nurses room into a day cubicle and had only had about half an hour's sleep, I was rather a sleepy nurse at first. It was Just heavenly to sleep peacefully all that night. Nights are co quiet and so delightfully dark. For the last two weeks I had been tie night nurse for (wo floors, . six wards in all, and. I climbed innumera ble granite stairs all night long. They were the two surgical landings, my old friend "B" and my new friend C." I am now on day duty as senior nurse on "C." rather to the disgust of "B," who consider I belong to them. Just as an officers' steward was my right-hand man on "B." bo is another officers' steward my right-hand man on "C." The "C" men are the surgical cases nearest recovery and are exceedingly lively. In fact one of the "B" men told me he considered it was no place for me. "They are altogether too noisy for you, nurse," he said. "They will drive you crazy. You belong down here." I may mention that they do not drive me crazy in the least and that I like them, .very much. . Little concerts on combs and tissue paper and exhibits of hornpipe dancing, as it should be done, rather please me. even if such' things do not appeal to the authorities. Liner Seamen In One Ward. In one ward we have a colony of seamen who used to be on Atlantic liners and they are delighted if I hap pen to know or have crossed on their boat. These boats are now gallant auxiliary cruisers and their crews Jive a gay life of adventure, where former ly they just chug-chugged from one Atlantic port to another with passen gers. One White Star man feels sure he remembers seeing me in the piping times of peace. , I looked after all this ward by night for a' long time, but hardly knew the men by sight. Those were sometimes wild nights of haopelngs. One night a water pipe burst and I came back and found my -patients working for dear life swabbing up the decks, until a stoker, first class, repaired the damage. They could not stop swabbing to ex plain matters, or the torrent would have got ahead of them. They built lit tle raft walks for "nurse" to step on. After the excitement was all over I had to get them hot coffee and dry clothes and send them all to bed again with hot water bottles. They literally "rose" to the occasion. , bailors axe bandy men. Another COUNTY GAME WARDEN DYNAMITES $10,000 DAM IN LEWIS RIVER Unused Structure Obstacle to Passage of Fish Many Trout Are Killed by Explosion Concussion Knocks Man With Camera Off Stump, but He Involuntarily Snaps Picture of Column of Water in the Air. Zk2 m l I v r i t V 7 K ... . . sST' Jss'' &z&& V 1n,o'' night a big bat flew into' the kitchen and excited two sisters, a staff nurse and myself, to the verge of hysterics. Two delighted stokers, tirst class, and an engineroom artificer flapped it out with towels and I verily believe would have liked to flap it in again to bear "sister" squeal. They are always smuggling little cats and dogs up to bed. It is a bit startling to enter a ward in pitch darkness and have a small barking dog rush at one! Most little dogs, how ever, curl up happily in bed with their adopted owners and keep quiet until morning. Most of our sailors went to a fair and baby show in the neighborhood and were charmed to see their photos in a London paper next day, all holding prize babies. I asked one of my patients why he had his head turned away from the baby he was holding and he said "if 1 hadn't I should have had a Jammy hand in my eye. We have one man off the "Big Liz zie" and he is a very proud man; but there are men from the "Hush No. 1 and the "Hush No. 2" who say his ship is not in it with theirs. These ships are nameless.

A dam costing approxi mately $10,000. built on the Bast fork of Lewis River, east of Yacolt. Wash., was recently blown up by J. M. Hoff. County Game Warden, and Sheriff Blesecker. The dam was built by the Lewis River Hydraulic Mining Co., for a supposed ly rich placer ground. Stock was sold in the company and many thousands of dollars were expended In building this dam to be used in placer mining. This was several years ago. It was finally abandoned. When the dam was built, no fish ladder was provided, and J. M. Hoff, the Game Warden, remonstrated er eral times. Promises were made, but unearthly hours lately to go out gath ering mushrooms for breakfast. One day they got enough for a lovely breakfast for the night nurses. One of the weirdest night noises I heard was a big Irishman grinding his teeth. it took me ever so long to And out what it was. Early morning tea was one of the greatebt treats one could give the pa tients and the list of eligibles grew longer every day. Only the ones who needed a little extra attention could really have it, but everybody wanted it Bats come in by night, but wasps are daytime visitors. We have swarms of them here. The poor night nurses who were trying to leep in the day time would wake up finding them tan gled in their hair. They have a way of buzzing around and halt frightening you to death, even if they don't sting you. It is a pity that masquito screens are not fashionable in Kngland. Ice and moxquito bars and a few other things would be' most acceptable here. The sailors are most amusingly jeal ous of the soldiers and will ask anxiously, "You didn't like the soldiers better than us. did you. nurse?" I assure them it is a dead heat. Ono of my patients who was wound ed in the creat naval battle has Just given me his cap ribbon to decorate my dressing table with. He has nobly been helping me to polish up the ster ilizer and the sterilizing drums this afternoon, ready for "inspection" by the fleet surgeon tomorrow. He surely will not find fault with their appear ance. Small Bugler Boy Patient. We have a very Important small boy patient just come in from the naval air service. He is a perfect dear, a bugler boy. 1 have several photos of grateful patients now to help fill up the ex ceedingly limited space In my cubicle. I am getting quite blase on tattooing nowadays. I see so much of it. These men talk of. battle in their sleep. It is quite exciting to hear them sometimes and helps to keep the poor night nurse awake with' tho hor ror of it. A terrible wave of sleep de scends on one between 3 A. M. and 4 A. M. and unless one struggles one Is submerged and lost. I always did xnanage to struggle - against It and nothing was done. Mr. Hoff went out on two occasions, but such objection was raised he did not destroy the dam. Finally, Mr. Hoff. accompanied by Sheriff Blesecker and deputies, went out to the dam, armed with necessary legal papers and 250 pounds of dyna mite. They proceeded to sink the dynamite on the upper side of the dam and at tached the fuse. An effort was made to drive the large school of red-bellied trout up the stream, but they would not drive, so were destroyed when the dynamite exploded. Julius Anderson, standing on a stump more than a block distance away, was blowrf off by the concussion. He involuntarily pressed the shutter re lease of his comera, and secured a pic ture showing the column of water in keep awake myself. But it is an awful! feeling of uncontrollable helplessness. Patients Gather Mushrooms. One of my patients sympathized greatly, as he said he knew exactly how I felt, because he had worked on the night shift at his factory before the war.. He had a birthday a few days ago and just in the nick of time, the day before, I had two cakes sent (for the nurses and myself) aud I wrappepd one of them up In tissue pa per and tied it with bows and gave it to him for a birthday .cake. He was sim ply delighted and everyone In his ward had a piece. He was 20 years old that day and was the proud youth from 11. M. S. Ctueen Elizabeth. No German shrapnel wounded him. but a hatchway door dropped on his hand and squashed it. These wounded sailors are often in vited to go on pleasure tripes by the people of the neighborhood. They go gaily off, escorted by orderlies,, never by their nurses, as is the case at the military hospitals. Great excitement is caused by the "getting ready" pro cess beforehand. Clothes are care fully pressed, tics and collars washed and ironed and well-burnished buttons given an extra 'rub. "Night nurse" hears all about the day on their re turn. They usually come back beam ing with pleasure and certainly must be very charming guests. The wounded soldiers from the other hospital often go with them and then, from all I hear. there are various friendly discussions navy versus army. At one party the navy and the army came to words because the BOldiers. who had another engagement, wished to leave early, and the sailors, who hadn't, and were enjoying themselves very much, were not willing to tear themselves away. Etiquette forbade them to leave in two sections the navy ranks the army so a hot discussion was carried on in stage whispers. The navy won. . One night I was asked to settle a disputed point as to whether if a man were to get drunk on the way home would the orderly in charge" be held responsible or would the cabman who stopped the cab at an inn be to blame. I wisely held it that the man who took the drink would be the guilty party, a polnC &o ono else had seemed to think the air. A great hole was broken through the dam permitting the water to flow freely. Twenty-five fish were picked up and they weighed more than 150 pounds. It is estimated that tish weighing alto gether, more than 1000 pounds, wcra killed and floated downstream. of! As it was an entirely imaginary case, I was allowed the last yord. Of course the navy men never do such things. ROAD SESSION IS CALLED Idulio Association Will Meet to Seek Federal Aid. LEWISTO.V, Idaho. Oct, 7. (Special . President L. J.

LIGHT SHED ON MYSTERY Danville Detcotlvcs l'lnd Their The ories nudcly VrHet- DANV1LLE. 111.. Oct. 2. It was dusk, an auto stopped and a man got out. He looked around stealthily. See ing no one. he seized a box from the car and made off toward the wools. Little did he know that another was watching him. Stopping suddenly. the autoist scooped a hole in the ground and then his observer obtained a good view of the. package. It was a casket the kind babies are buried itw- Wating only to see the casket buried, the observer crept away with the secret. The shrewdest detectives in Danville in a few hours were on the case. That was last night. Today the de tectives learned the man who buritd the casket was a taxi driver. He had been hired by Mrs. Maudine Smith, a society woman, to bury her dead poodle. i
